Taking chances

you gotta believe me

*an hour and a half later! the 4 of them had a chat and they collectively decided that they were gonna have dinner together then kelsey would drive them to the hospital so the boys could see jasmine*

Doctor Richard: *had just walked out of jasmines room after checking on her and seeing how much of her dinner she was able to eat. as he was closing her door over he looks up to see santana and kelsey walk towards him with the boys following close behind* hello all! how is everyone? *smiles politely*

Santana: we're alright! we just came by to see if these 2 can come in and see jasmine for a little bit since they havent had the chance to talk with her since she woke up. *smiles politely*

doctor Richard: alright! im not sure how jasmine is gonna react to all of you being in her room together so maybe you should go in 2 at a time just to make sure she doesnt get too worked up and overwhelmed with new faces. *smiles sweetly*

Kelsey: of course! i can go in with one of the boys then santana can go in with the other after. how does that sound? *looks at santna and the boys*

Santana: yeah! thats fine! *smiles at kelsey and the boys as they nod their head in agreement* which one of you boys wanna go first? *looks at the boys, seeing that carlos was a little more hesitant and shy. she was expecting him to jump at the chance*

Elliot: *knew that carlos was nervous about seeing jasmine again just because he still blames himself for putting her in this position in the first place* ill go! *smiles brightly at his grandma as she smiles back*

Santana: alright! you and kelsey can go in and ill wait out here with carlos till you're done. *smiles as she walks over to stand where elliot was, while elliot wheels himself into jasmines room with kelsey following behind*

Carlos: *was stood next to santana, feeling even more on edge because he feels like he needs to apologies to her as well. since he told her that he'd always be there to protect jasmine but he wasnt there this time round and now jasmine is in a hospital bed not knowing who any of them are* um s-san...*cant bring himself to look at her and see if she is listening to him*

Santana: *turns and sees carlos' hands physically shaking. so without thinking twice, her mama bear insticts kick in because she cares about carlos like he was her own flesh and blood* yeah...whats wrong? *puts her hands on his upper arms as she waits for him to make eye contact with her*

Carlos: *swallows the lump in his throat even though it still doesnt help at all to calm his nerves* theres something i need to tell you! ...a-and i just d-dont know how to s-say it. *continues to fidget with his hands*

santana: *has no idea whats going on. she just knows that it must be serious because she rarely sees carlos like this* ok! how about we go down to the cafeteria for a hot drink then we can have a chat about whatever it is thats bothering you. ok? *smiles sweetly*

Carlos: ok... *smiles back weakly because he is still very much scared as hell about santana hating him and stoping him from seeing jasmine*

*as they make there way down to the cafeteria santana sends a quick text to kelsey to let her know what they are doing. after a very quiet walk and wait in the cue, both carlos and santana are sat at a little table across from each other.*

Santana: *was happily sipping her tea, feeling so much more refreshed and relaxed after the day shes had* so... *puts her mug down infront of her then looks up at carlos with a smile* what were you needing to talk about?

Carlos: *takes a deep breath then looks up at santana* i... *exhales deeply because he doesnt know how to start explaining himself*

Santana: *reaches out and puts her hand ontop of carlos' hand to comfort him* its ok! take your time... *they both go quiet for minute* is it because you are scared about whats gonna happen with jasmines recovery? *she sees carlos shake his head* ok... *waits for carlos to start speaking*

Carlos: *takes another deep breath and sits up straight* im sorry! ...jasmine being here is all my fault!

Santana: *has no idea what hes talking about because she still doenst know about why jasmine had locked herself in the bathroom* what makes you say that?

Carlos: *tries to hold back the tears as he rememebers the look of hurt on jasmines face when she thought that carlos had cheated on her* jazzy and i got into a big arguement because... *pauses to take a breath, trying to prepare for snixx being unleashed as soon as he tells santana what happened the last time he spoke to jasmine*

Santana: because, what? *was trying to be patient and show carlos that he can tell her anyhing. but at the same time she just wants to know what the hell is going on*

Carlos: *goes back to looking down at his hands* she thinks i cheated on her with roxy! *doenst dare to look up at santana because he can already feel her trying to burn holes into his skull*

Santana: YOU WHAT! *she whisper yells because she is so mad that this is what he needed to tell her. today of all days is definitly not a day she is likely gonna play nice and hear him out* BOY YOU BETTER BE MESSING WITH ME OR SNIXX IS GONNA START FLIPPING SHIT!

carlos: *what he feared would happen has happened and now he just wishes the ground could swallow him up right about now. he knows that he doesnt have much time to explain himself but hes gonna try his very best to fight for jasmine* i promise you i didnt cheat on her... look its a long story but you have got to believe me that i would never dream of being with anyone else other than your granddaughter. and if she ever starts to remember that moment, i promise you that i will do everything possible to make her see that it was all a big missunderstanding and ill spend the rest of my life reminding her that she is the only one for me.

Santana: *wanted to believe him but part of her was holding back from her own guilt of not being there to bubble wrap jasmine enough when she had the chance. so she wants to start over and use this opportunity to try again with protecting jasmine from all the bad guys of the world* i honesty dont know what to say to you right now! out of all the bad guys in this world, i didnt expect to see your name on that list* crosses her arms across her chest and glares at carlos as he just holds his head in his hands and tries to beg her to believe him and not to hate him.*

Carlos: *hears santana stand up and walk away from the table* santana, please dont hate me! i promise i didnt do it! *follows after her, doing whatever he can to make her turn round and say she believes him*

Santana: *was ready to snap so she spun round on her heels and glared at carlos while breathing heavily* i dont wanna hear it! im going in that room to see my grandaughter. if you wanna come in then you better stay back and stay quiet. im not having her stress out and risk having her heart rate go up and put her already weak lungs, at risk. *points her finger at carlos to make sure he understands how pissed of she is. she was so close to breaking down and crying but she takes a deep breath and continues to walk towards jasmines room*
